"Deadbeat Dads" Used to Promote National ID System
Submitted by Scott on Thu, 2002-02-07 20:37
Del Parker submitted this article from TooGoodReports, which discusses the federal government's use of databases to track details about the lives of its citizens. So why is this related to men's issues? Well, the key argument being put forth to promote these systems is that they will be used to track "deadbeat dads." It's always nice to have a scapegoat that everyone hates in order to implement freedom-usurping surveillance systems, and apparently "deadbeat dads" seem to be a universal group that lawmakers can target.Source: TooGoodReports.com [web site]
